Guests can help save sharks during our 3rd annual Shark Conservation Weekend beginning Friday, August 2 through Sunday, August 4. Adopt a shark, participate in a Shark & Ray In-Water Encounter or spin our prize wheel to win a prize – a portion of the proceeds will benefit the AZA SAFE (Association of Zoos and Aquariums: Saving Animals from Extinction) Shark and Ray Conservation Action Plan, a program committed toward saving sharks and rays, two species which are declining at an alarming rate, through collaborative conservation efforts between AZA members and partners. Donations will also benefit OCEARCH, a non-profit organization with a global reach for unprecedented research on great white sharks and other large apex predators.
